This is a great game ive played it many times in japanese. It is the 5th game in the awsome series of Yugioh Duel Monsters games. Its original name is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 5: Expert I and it is the first Yugioh game ever that acctually uses the real rules to the card game and almost every card is on that game! It' is the third best duel monsters game ever next to the sequel Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 6: Expert II and the to be released in japan July 4, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 7: Duel City Legends. That means that Yugioh the imortal duelist soul is defently a keeper and that all yugioh fans should buy it. Its way better than the previously released Dark Duel Stories cause no more [junky] deck capacity or duelist level, you can put any card in at any time. The best part is u can have more than 40 cards now. This is a very, very good game i recomend that all yugioh fans big and small time should get it.

This game is a lot different from DDS or Forbidden Memories. It includes every Yu-gi-oh game card ever created and it includes all the official rules of the Yu-gi-oh trading card game. Your deck can now have a maximum of 50 cards and no more star chips, or deck capacity, or duelist level. You can include any cards you wish and all the english cards are there! All the effects are exactly like the real trading card game. It is definetly worth the money. Compared to this, DDS and forbidden memories don't stand a chance.

The Eternal Duelist Soul is the first US Yu-Gi-Oh! game to follow the EXACT rules of the TCG. The game is Duel Monsters 5 with some features from the best Yu-Gi-Oh! game ever made, Duel Monsters 6 Expert 2. The game allows you to have a max of 50 cards as opposed to 40, has no lame Deck Capacity or Duel Level which means you can put in any card you want, and features every booster expansion up to Curse of Anubis as well as a few exclusive DM5 boosters. The password feature is another improvement. In FM, you had to input a password & the buy the card for a certain amount of Star Chips. That's not the case here though; when a password is entered, the card will automatically appear in you Bag. Another thing I should mention is that now you can also have a Side Deck, a deck consisting of 15 cards you can use to modify your deck inbetween duels. Last but not least, the game also comes with 3 exclusive Promo Cards. DM5 came with Gilfar Demon, Toon Dark Magician Girl, & I forget the last card.

Don't listen when people say that the decks you get stink. I got 3 Blue Eyes really quickley. Yu-Gi is not the Hardest duelist to beat Yami Yu-Gi is 10xxxxxxxxxx harder. Trust Me this game rocks and really teaches you the game play of Yu-Gi-Oh....

It's an real challenging game you get to pick your deck, pick the one on the left once you do so you have your self a tough deck but do you want to be ultimate............Go to cheatcc.com, then click no frames, and go down and click codes (under game boy advance), than click on Y and it will show Yu-Gi-Oh The Eternal duelist soul, go to strategy guide, just go down and type in the the passwords in password. I give this game 100%.

Im an adult and had never heard or played this game in real life. Im a new owner of a game boy advance and had bought mario cart, and earthworm jim. I usually use my gameboy advance to pass the time as I commute by mass transit. The 2 games I had didnt really do it on the train or buss, they just werent that playable on the move. I was looking for some sort of strategy game like chess. Seemed like it would work better. This seemed like a game I had read about, "Magic the Gathering" and so I bought this. The game has been very enjoyable. Its highly addictive and because its turned based I can stop at a moments notice and slip the thing in my jacket pocket when needed. Its also easy to learn. Im on my 4th set of opponents and have yet to read the instructions. The game supports the game boy link so players can play against one another and even trade cards. Real world cards can be imputed into the game by punching its number into the game boy. A nice touch! I dont get much out of the last two things but they were still nice touches.
Parents should not have to much to worry about here. Some of the cards may have dark images and descriptions but there is really nothing sinister going on here. Its a pure logic game. Think of it this way. The game is a cross between sports cards and a pop culture, kid strategy game. It actually promotes logical thinking because at higher levels some real planning has to take place to win. Go ahead and get it!

Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul is quite simply the best collectible trading card game I've played for any handheld console.
For starters, there are over 800 different cards available, with virtually all magic, trap, and flip effects fully intact and playable--a quantum leap above and beyond the comparatively sad effort found in Konami's Dark Duel Stories for the Game Boy Color. These cards may be won, granted after playing against a given number of opponents, traded with live players via Link Cable, or imported from actual cards by entering the card's password number.
Although the initial opponents are relatively easy to defeat, players will find that the challenge will increase as quickly as they want it to, by advancing to higher stages at the earliest opportunity, or by repeatedly battling lower level characters to improve the pool of cards from which to build their decks. In addition to the literally dozens of in-game opponents to battle, a player may challenge any other player to a duel via the Game Boy Link Cable.
The deck edit interface makes it easy to sort and find cards by type, name, or statistics. The only room for improvement in this category would be the ability to store more than one deck composition and collect those of defeated opponents, ala The Pokemon CTCG for the Gameboy Color--this would allow players to copy, adapt, or change the basic theme of their decks much more quickly between matches.
In short, this is a brilliantly executed CTCG that easily surpasses the complexity and playability of any previous effort for any hand-held console. This is both its greatest strength and its one drawback: Although it's rated "E" for everyone, many players under the age of 10 will likely become frustrated by the repeated butt-kicking the in-game opponents will deliver to the unwary.
I look forward to seeing the sequel, which I understand has recently become available.

Me again y'all! I bought this game a day ago and it was so cool I couldn't take myself off of playing it! Believe me, I think it's cool next to FORBIDDEN MEMORIES. It also has its own PASSWORD section but instead of star chips, you just get it in a snap! I got Barrel Dragon, Harpie's Pet Dragon, Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon, Manga Ryu-Ran, Red-Eyes B. Metal Dragon, Polymerization, and both Blue-Eyes and Red-Eyes. Also, this game only follows the rules of the official game: it took me a while before I could master it.
Another neat part of this game is the Yu-Gi-Oh! Magazines. It gives you 5 cards each Tuesday and the 21st of the month. In my first Yu-Gi-Oh! monthly magazine, I got the WINGED DRAGON OF RA and Dark Magician Girl in the second. So if you are planning to get one of these great games, I'm sure you'll be amazed of how Konami can make such fun and enjoyable games.

Hope that helped.

I just bought this game a few days ago, along with my GBA. All I can say is that this is the best game I have ever played. I love how the flow of the game keeps going, and I'm glad they even make the charaters not extremely easy. Anyways, to all the people who are thinking about buying this game, listen to me here, Its worth your money! Here are some reasons why:

1.) Has all the best cards you can think of in it.

2.) Has a ... load of characters to face in it too.

3.) Helps build your gameplay (if you are just getting started playing the card game).

4.) Just play awesome!

I'm a true YuGiOh fan, and I just have to say BUY THIS GAME if you have a GBA. If not, find a friend who has one...and PLAY IT! I hope this was helpful
